Awesome that you get to visit Europe! 😊 When you get to Finland I will be joining you!😅 And those Dutch-versions look to be same way printed as Finnish stuff...And I am betting that you found the best sfuff of the trip from Berlin😊
@WhatIsOntheComicRack I watched a few last year from different countries. I think Spanish, French, and Italian. None really in particular. I need to do more research. I always thought it would be cool to get one from Romania if one even exists.
3:45 Hip Comics is NOT the publisher, it is the series in which the adventures of the Marvel superheroes were punlished, Aquaman, Batman, Superman and Tarzan had their own series the name of the publisher could very well be "Williams" at the time, but it changed its names a couple of times, and it was called Classics Nederland before and Classics lektuur after the Williams period, it started as a branch of the US publisher publishing "Classics Illustrated" which were published in Dutch as "Illustrated Classics": And they published a lot: Tex Willer, Batman and Superman, which had regular numbers, and in the number system Sheriff Classics (#9, Western i.e, cowboys and such from many US publishers, Marvel, DC, Charlton.. Rawhide Kid, Redmask, Ghost Rider, all of them for 250 issues), Tarzan (#12), Avontuur (Adventure) Classics (#18, Gold Key heroes), Hip Classics (#19, Marvel heroes), Korak (#20, Son of Tarzan) ( Imagine that: There was a time, when Tarzan and his son both had about as many Dutch issues as all Marvel Heroes together), Super Classics (#24, Metamorpho and the Metal Men), Aquaman Classics (#25), and then you had Flits, Groene Lantaarn and Zwarte Valk Classics, (Rather literal translations of Flash, Green Lantern and the first part of Blackhawk, but Valk really means falcon), lots (if not all) of the heroes of the Avontuur and Hip Classics got their own series (or single issue, it was good to have known you, Turok) at the end of this era, which taught Dutch reading people to read actual comics (in the strict sense). And all those comics (and many more comics, but with no American Superheroics, though still of interest to those with broader interests) are what Dutch collectors usually think of as the Classics, the products of a publisher with (usually) "Classics" in its name... So if you are after classics, and you meet some Dutch collector who could help you, just make sure there is no misunderstanding, it saves so much time and hurt feelings.
Cool books in that digging footage! Simpsons and Turtles - awesome! Hope you had fun on your trip - Welcome Back!
There were some very cool books in his bins. I was so focused on finding some foreign language comics that there was a lot I probably overlooked.

If I am ever in Finland you better bet I am visiting my fellow Finnish TH-camr!
@@WhatIsOntheComicRack Welcome!
Welcome back!!!!
Thanks Richard!!!!
That Heir to the Empire is on my list! But… not for 159 euro-pound-rubles-sterling.
You are absolutely correct...On my list as well but not for that price!
Welcome back, Mr. Akins! Wow! Love those foreign comics! I have my eye on picking up a foreign Tomb of Dracula #1. Looking forward to the next videos!
Got some in the can already. Which foreign Tomb of Dracula #1 do you have your eye on?

Some great classic covers. Amazing foreign pick ups.
@@BrianLCS I couldn’t resist those classic covers. I originally picked them up for someone else but I may have to keep at least one.🙂

Those 60's Spideys are Cool!
They were cool and I couldn't resist picking them up. Had someone specific in mind when I got them.
@@WhatIsOntheComicRack Love those X-men as well! Did someone say John Byrne?
@@bigbymcflythecomicguy They did and even though they were speaking Dutch I still understood them. Those X-Men are going to someone else as well.
Interesting to see how they print comic books in Europe.
Thanks for watching Steve!
